Double Kiss and Make Up

Our Shahs are still in Vegas, but wait, where's Golnesa? Oh right -- she went back to L.A. without telling anyone. So while the Reza, Anita, Asa, and Sammy start to hash it out with MJ, they put in on pause and decide they'll confront GG later. OK, back in L.A., MJ, who we've now deemed an "accessory" to GG's "crime" meets GG for lunch where they can talk about what happened. MJ tries to reason with Golnesa, but it seems that GG is not only upset about how Anita came at her but how Reza handled it. Ultimately, GG says she's willing to talk Reza, and MJ urges her speak to him before his champagne tasting party he plans on holding. Oh right -- Reza invited everyone to an upcoming champagne taste test at his home, but more on that later.

GG and Reza eventually talk and GG let's us see a side of her and her psyche that we haven't seen before -- she reveals that she's been in therapy for years and basically has a destructive personality. Although I don't know that it excuses her behavior, i think it explains it, and I was proud of her for admitting it. I would love to know what she's so angry about, but maybe that'll come out in future episodes. Kind of a sidenote, but the funniest part about this whole mea culpa scene was Reza only kissing one of MJ's cheeks once and her demanding, "two sides, two sides." This happens to me all the time with my relatives! It's obviously customary to kiss twice, but it can seriously add a lot of time to any entrance or exit of an occasion. I have so many cousins, that I could spend minutes just greeting people! #PersianGirlProblemsOn to Sammy, who we see doing business with Mohamed. Those of you who watch The Real Houseiwes of Beverly HIlls, will remember Mohamed as Lisa Vanderpump's friend and the man behind parties that result in THIS. Sammy will be watching Mohamed's project while he is away and hopes that the partnership will only be the beginning of future billion-dollar projects. Sammy actually offers the money Mohamed has left for him to the guy working on the project as incentive to finish the project early. I guess we'll see if the risk pays off.

Mike, is hustling too. He's helping his client, Hoonam, find a commercial space for a night club. More importantly, though, we meet his mother. They address his label as a "mama's boy" and talk about how Persian men are close to their mothers. We find out he hasn't introduced his girlfriend to his family yet. I'm thinking that's never going to happen. Although Mike claims his p[arents would be happy with anyone he brought home, his mom's reaction to his joke about finding a wife in Colombia leads me to think differenty.

Asa is in her own world this week as she reveals her affinity for "diamond water," which is literally water with diamonds and flowers in it. Diamond. Water. There are diamonds in the water. Diamonds in the water. Sorry, I just can't get over it. All I have to say is it's a good thing she selected something that doesn't rust!

It seems to help her though, and she even brought it with her to the studio with Mister Bunny, who we learn is Quincy Jones' grandson. Say whaaat?! I stand by the statement that "Tehranjeles" will be successful in one way or another.MJ and Reza are also on their grind at the office -- and then out in the field where we see their different selling style. Although they're close, they're both competitive, and it's pretty fun to watch.

Finally, our crew gathers at Reza's for his champagne party. His very expensive champagne party. I recognized The Cheese Store owner, Norbert Wabnig, from Top Chef Masters, so that gave me a little thrill. It seemed like the whole point of the party was to make GG slip up on her champagne knowledge, something she boasted possessing in Las Vegas. And sure enough, she couldn't tell the difference between the high-end champagnes, but Mike could, which surprisingly impressed me. GG had other things on her mind, though, as she and Anita finally talked about their issues. In the end, they agreed to discuss problems they might have with each other immediately rather than letting them blow up. I guess that's progress, but we'll see how GG interacts with people in these types of situations in the future.

And, next week, we see MJ get a colonic. If that doesn't whet your appetite for the next episode, I just don't know what will.
